Pours an oily looking black with an average tan head. Aroma is more sweet and consists of chocolate, licorice, raisin, smoke, and roasted malts. Taste is similar to the aroma, but it is more roasted as opposed to sweet chocolate. In addition to these roasted malts, chocolate and licorice are still the other dominant flavors. I get some smokiness and coffee here also. It is sweet, but not to much. Aftertaste is a smoky chocolate with licorice undertones. Medium bodied with a slick texture. Not a whole lot of carbonation in here. Very easy to drink this one. It isn’t anything over the top in any way. Its just a solid, well made stout.

Bottle shared. Pours near black with dark biege head. Aroma of roast, chocolate, fudge, toffee, cocoa and light coffee. Flavour is over moderate sweet and bitter. All of the aroma aspects come out in the palate with raisins, overripe red fruit and oyster saltiness on the side. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Fantastic for the low ABV.

Bottle @ home, thanks to readbaron for sending this! Pours a black appearance with a dark brown head. The oyster presence is definitely noticeable in the nose with salty / earthy / mussel notes. There’s also a fair amount of anise, light spice, and some roast. Flavor is a bit twangy, almost tart-like flavor. A bunch of black licorice in the mouth along with roast. Body is a bit thin. Finishes with earth, chocolate, and a bit of coffee. Pretty solid but I’m really not a huge fan of Oyster Stouts to be honest.

Bottle share at Proof. Dark black with a great creamy tan head that lasts pretty well. Smoky and toasty malt aroma. Smoky-malty-chocolate flavor. Not much of the hint of salty-brine I typically see in oyster stouts. Great creamy mouthfeel with nice aftertaste of silty chocolate. Creamy nitro-like carbonation and thick viscous body.

Pours a thick black from the bottle with nice tan brown head that leaves moderate lace. Aroma of roasted malt, a hint of mineral in the middle, and some chocolate. Taste follows, more chocolate than mineral. Sweet and nice, but not crazy oyster.
